She wasn't ever on broadway, but how about Karen Carpenter. She to me epitomized an expressive voice.

I have a real "thing" about voices. Most of the people mentioned are great singers but for me Norbert has the whole package. His speaking voice has such texture. I could listen too him all day & never get bored.( The British actor Roy Marsden had the same effect on me too)

Emily Skinner was the first person that came to my mind...although I would also have to say Alice Ripley, Hugh Panero, and Louise Pitre among the regulars that have been suggested (Idina, Sutton, Kristin, Bernadette)

gosh, Judy was pretty freakin' amazing, wasn't she? I just had to reiterate that point, even though she has already been mentioned numerous times.

ah, Bernadette too.

I almost forget-- Maureen McGovern's singing in Little Women is incredibly expressive- her "Here Alone" and "Days of Plenty" are amazing!

I agree with a whole bunch of these, but I can't believe more people haven't said Max Von Essen. His Being Alive gives me chills from the sheer emotion that just keeps building as the song goes on. And when he sang "O Holy Night" with Julia Murney; that was the most emotion that has probably ever been put into that song. Oh, there's another one! Julia Murney. "Maybe I Like It This Way" anyone?

Adam Pascal - sexy beautiful raspiness, perfect for Roger and a very cool interesting choice for Radames

Brian Stokes Mitchell- is my absolute favorite voice ever on broadway..im obsessed with the man of la mancha soundtrack because of it..i mean..come on.."Dulcinea"..how beautiful is that!

Hugh Panaro- just saw him on broadway in poto a month or two ago and absolutely adored his voice, especially in the all i ask of you reprise

Patti Lupone
Whever I listen to their work I just sit there and tear up.
